I do not know anything about the historical context of this re-imagining so I can't speak to that but holy damn, what a ride. The three main characters are a delight, and I was emotionally invested in either cheering these characters on or wanting to reach into the book and punch some people.
And that ending! GIVE ME THE NEXT BOOK NOW.
My only critique is that some parts seemed to be TOO fast paced, where I wish there could have been more dialogue or world building or something but there's just some parts that get skimmed over. Possibly because this was YA/NA? Not sure but besides that I will be telling everyone I know to read this book.

Everything happens so fast and so easily (???) that it just felt...like watching a movie adaptation of a novel?
I didn't like the main character. I wanted to.
If there's another book set in the same world I'll read it. It's an easy read and a decent idea for a story. I just hope we get to delve further in and read a novel instead of watching the YA movie version.

My rating might be a tad unfair - I'm just generally not a fan of YA. But as YA goes, this is definitely up there.
